Wave your geek flag for Geek Pride Day

Modis, an IT staffing company, reported that 68 percent of people find Google Glass-wearing geeks hot and would date them. That’s because geeks are considered intelligent, loyal, hardworking and gainfully employed.

Geeks are also no longer shy about waving around their light saber (May 25 = anniversary of the first Star Wars film) or showing off their anime collection. The survey found that 90 percent of respondents would happily show off their “geek” books and comics and that 65 percent are proud of their Godzilla/Star Wars/Lord of the Rings plush dolls, plus wearing Spiderman boxers and superhero pajamas.

And it seems more and more people are embracing their inner geek, with more than half saying that they would wear either a smart watch like the Pebble or smart glasses like the Google Glass.
